You don't need to be afraid of going to the dentist anymore.

For many Americans going to the dentist is a frightful event, even though dentistry has changed so much in the past years. A visit to the dentist can now be relaxing and enjoyable. Unfortunately, this is not enough for the approximately 145 million people who avoid the dentist and dental care due to fear.

Drs. Yaste and Hufanda, two dentists who practice in Charlotte, North Carolina have completed special and unique training that allows them to treat these fearful people. "That's right, using a few small pills, people can now have their dental care accomplished while they are totally relaxed and absolutely comfortable."

Dr. Yaste adds, "We have always been very sensitive to our patients with high fear and apprehension, and now we can offer them a safe and even more comfortable experience. So many good people are avoiding needed care due to fear. We are looking forward to helping these people visit the dentist with this safe and wonderful technique of anxiety-free dentistry."

Both doctors are members of the fastest growing organization of its kind in dentistry, the Dental Organization for Conscious Sedation - DOCS. The purpose of DOCS is to provide the education necessary for dentists to provide needed care to the large population of people who are avoiding the dentist and to improve their lives with better dental health.

"Dentistry is very high tech today with all sorts of gadgets that get the job done better and quicker, but now with anxiety-free dentistry we can bridge the gap between technology and comfort," says Dr. Hufanda

He added, "You should see the look on the faces of our patients when they complete their care and have a healthy mouth - there aren't words to describe it! That look is why I love sedation dentistry. We helped to change someone's life."

Drs. Yaste and Hufanda and their team at the Ballantyne Center for Dentistry are proud of their commitment to the community and providing anxiety-free, sedation dentistry.
